The Oscars - My Winners

So you should all be aware that last night was the Academy Awards, and the Internet is full of lists of winners, so I'm going to do my own take on it with my own categories! Just for a bit of fun.

Best Photobomb

Well there's really only one winner here! It has to be Benedict Cumberbatch doesn't it, his photobomb of U2 went viral faster than you can say his name!

Best Dancer

Meryl Streep always deserves to win something, so this time should be no different. Her shoulder-shimmy during Pharell Williams' performance of Happy was a definite highlight!

Best Selfie

OK OK this one is obvious, but I just wanted to include it. OF COURSE the winner is Ellen's selfie featuring, well, just about everyone.

Best Reaction to Pizza

Ellen ordering pizzas was pretty funny in itself, but Jennifer Lawrence's reaction was even better. She looked so pleased!

Best Presenter

In this instance I mean award presenter (Ellen would win Best Host every time). The winner is Bill Murray for his mention of his friend Harold Remis which I thought was very heartwarming.

Best Acceptence Speech

This one is tied. Lupita Nyong'o gave a beautiful and eloquent speech, so she definitely deserves this, but also Cate Blanchett deserves it too, for getting her feminist on and telling people that female-lead films aren't a niche market. You tell 'em Cate!

Best Reaction to Winning an Award

This one goes to Steve McQueen, bless him, he was so nervous/happy when 12 Years A Slave won Best Picture he could barely speak, but his jump at the end was brilliant. There's someone who really deserved and appreciated it.

And now the final award....

Best Leonardo DiCaprio

Poor Leo's lack of an Oscar has caused the internet to go crazy. He was up against tough competition this year, and even though his performance in Wolf of Wall Street was absolutely brilliant he lost out to Matthew McConaughey. So here's your own award Leo, just for you!  

My BAFTAs Blog

Last night was my favourite awards show. I know it's not the biggest but I like it because it celebrates British cinema as well as international. I'd been waiting all day for it, I even went out and got some popcorn and some chocolate!

Stephen Fry did a great job hosting as he does every year. That's another thing I love about it, the British sense of humour, and Tinie Tempah high-fiving Prince William (although Prince William didn't look so thrilled).

The big winner of the night was Gravity, I think it came as a surprise to most. I read why it was nominated for Outstanding British Film due to the most of the people in production being British and all the effects were made here, which I suppose is fair. I think everyone expected 12 Years A Slave to be a runaway winner though, I definitely expected Steve McQueen to get Best Director.

I was happy to see Cate Blanchett get best actress, I haven't seen Blue Jasmine yet but it's on my list for when it's out on DVD. I think people were also surprised that Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years A Slave) didn't get Supporting Actress, especially when Barkhad Abdi (Captain Phillips) won Supporting Actor, I was sure they would celebrate such great performances from new actors, but instead Jennifer Lawrence won it, but I'm sure she's a worthy winner, especially after getting the Oscar last year she clearly is very talented.

Don't mind me sneaking a picture of Tom Hardy in here, any excuse.

I don't think anyone was surprised to see Chiwetel Ejiofor get Best Actor, and even though I know a lot of people were rooting for Leonardo DiCaprio , I think Ejiofor deserved it, it can't be easy placing yourself in the shoes of a man who went through so much suffering.

As for the fashion-side of things, I have to admit my favourites were two that the "fashion police" might not really enjoy. I loved Angelina Jolie's tux, and Ruth Wilson's glamorous suit. As for dresses, I did like Cate Blanchett in Alexander McQueen, and as always Lupita Nyong'o looked stunning in her bright green dress.

Next up, the big one! I'll try watch the Oscars this year, but might not be able to stay up for the livestream!
